Maddy's A-Z Classics Challenge 2018

The books I read for the A-Z Classics Challenge last year that I did with Good Read's Never Too Late to Read Classics' group. All the books in the challenge had to be at least 50 years old. For each letter, it had to be either the first word in the title or the author's last name. A for Aristophanes or D for Dud Avocado, for example.
I didn't finish this challenge. I was off by one book (Lord Byron's poetry) but I read the other 25 titles. I'll list them in alphabetic order so that you can see what book goes to what letter.
